c5ec153402 KVM: enable in-kernel APIC INIT/SIPI handling
This patch enables INIT/SIPI handling using in-kernel APIC by
introducing a ->mp_state field to emulate the SMP state transition.

40487c680d KVM: deliver PIC interrupt only to vcpu0
This patch changes the PIC interrupts delivery. Now it is only delivered
to vcpu0 when either condition is met (on vcpu0):
  1. local APIC is hardware disabled
  2. LVT0 is unmasked and configured to delivery mode ExtInt

It fixes the 2x faster wall clock on x86_64 and SMP i386 Linux guests

a3d7f85f47 KVM: Migrate lapic hrtimer when vcpu moves to another cpu
This reduces overhead by accessing cachelines from the wrong node, as well
as simplifying locking.

1b9778dae7 KVM: Keep track of missed timer irq injections
APIC timer IRQ is set every time when a certain period
expires at host time, but the guest may be descheduled
at that time and thus the irq be overwritten by later fire.
This patch keep track of firing irq numbers and decrease
only when the IRQ is injected to guest or buffered in
APIC.

6e5d865c0b KVM: VMX: Use shadow TPR/cr8 for 64-bits guests
This patch enables TPR shadow of VMX on CR8 access. 64bit Windows using
CR8 access TPR frequently. The TPR shadow can improve the performance of
access TPR by not causing vmexit.

96ad2cc613 KVM: in-kernel LAPIC save and restore support
This patch adds a new vcpu-based IOCTL to save and restore the local
apic registers for a single vcpu. The kernel only copies the apic page as
a whole, extraction of registers is left to userspace side. On restore, the
APIC timer is restarted from the initial count, this introduces a little
delay, but works fine.

97222cc831 KVM: Emulate local APIC in kernel
Because lightweight exits (exits which don't involve userspace) are many
times faster than heavyweight exits, it makes sense to emulate high usage
devices in the kernel.  The local APIC is one such device, especially for
Windows and for SMP, so we add an APIC model to kvm.

It also allows in-kernel host-side drivers to inject interrupts without
going through userspace.
